Hi ladies... No teeth her yet either but lots of biting and dribbling!

Holly is feeding excessively at night at the min, it's exhausting :-( not weaned yet so wondering if that might help?
 
Hi everyone :flower:

We took Sophie to the park today, well we go quite often but today I put Sophie on my knee on the slide, so it was her first time. Her eyes just went really big bless! Then she sat on my knee on a rocker lion. Shame they changes the baby swings there, the seats are a bit too big, can't wait to get her in a swing.
 
Hayden LOVES the swings but she's only been twice. I hope to take her again on Wednesday or Thursday :happydance: She was very apprehensive at first but then started smiling and loved it. Hope Sophie gets to go soon!

No teeth here yet either. Had our 6 month check up today and all was well. Weighed in at 17lb and 2 oz (69%) and was 26.5 inches tall (74%). Hope everyone is doing well! We've been traveling quite a bit and are off to Chicago again this weekend so I've not had much time to update. Big hugs to all!
 
Hi everyone! I have just been stalking lately. Emily makes it hard to post now, especially as I used to be able to get away with it while she was nursing and now she gets too distracted!

She is doing well. She is 7 months now?!!? Where is the time going? She rolls both ways and can sit up... she can't get up to sitting on her own but can stay up for quit awhile when I sit her up. She is starting to try to crawl but hasn't figured that one out just yet, she is pulling her legs under her and holding her chest up but not moving. She learned how to click her tongue/lips recent,y and is obsessed with doing it. She can stand, for brief moments, while holding onto something without our help, her leg strength is there, her balance is not. She absolutely loves dolls and animals... She has started babbling more, but has more of a trilling aaaa eeee type sounds rather than a baba baba dadada type of thing. She does say mama and maaaaaa but I'm not sure she knows that means me! She started puréed foods and seems to like it but it is making the poor girl poop only once or twice a week :( we have been really busy with play dates and story times, swim class, etc. things are good, but busy. I'm always here reading, just not posting. :)
 
Carson loves the swing too!! I put him in for the first time last week!

Amy- have you focused on the p foods ( pears, prunes peas) ? They he'll with the constipation. Carson has been pretty blocked up too but I gave him pears and its done the trick.

So far the only food that Carson loves is the rice cereal.. We've done avocado which he hated , pears and sweet potato.. The pears and sweet potato he will eat but he's not as excited as when he gets his cereal! I can't get the cereal in him fast enough! Carson has sttn 4 nights in a row now!! We are going to the cottage this weekend so I'm sure that will ruin my lovely sleeps!!
 
:wave:

How is everyone, how has the trips gone? :flower:
 
Is anyone else having trouble finding things the babies like? Ethan will only eat finger food or rusk. Iv ven tried mixing food into rusk but he wont eat it... so all hell eat is rusk with porridge (which has made his poo solid!). The only proper food he likes is colliflour cheese... but not the baby jar variety .. has to be he adult version.

We had our 2nd visit from the education woman and she said seth is defenitely autistic. Iv been doing some research and im actually really angry....he has been displaying major signs of it since he was 1 and not one single person picked up on it. And to say hes had professionals involved all his life thats pretty bad! 3 of the biggest are the speech regression at 1, hand flapping when excited and outwars expression of frustration.... he had an mri scan because he would headbutt to the point of almost knocking himself out.. how on earth did they all miss this.

Sorry mini rant there. I hope everyone is doing well xx
 
Yeah Carson only likes things sometimes.. A lot has to do with his mood.

Seths- I'm so sorry to hear that all of those professionals did not recognize the signs early. I hope they are giving you lots of support now. Ive worked quite a bit with autism so if you have any questions feel free to message me.
 
Hey Ladies has anyone thought of having another LO yet? OH and I are thinking On it since we are looking at a 3 BRM home vs a 4- he thinks a 4 because we will have another baby soon. His idea is they will both be in diapers and out close together and have a closer bond. Not sure if I'm ready for pregnancy again though. And I love my little girl I don't want her to have another baby taking up the love I guess
 
Seth's Mummy : Sorry to hear that they missed his diagnosis but I'm glad they have now and I hope you get the full support he needs from now on :flower:

Sophie isn't weaning yet and Chloe was a gannet so I can't answer the food question!

heavenneats: Some people like them so close but really it's up to you, I'd say have another when you feel ready. I have never thought that close age equals close bond as my sister and I are close and there is 5 years between us. Between her and my elder sister there is 2 years and they really do not get along but other people have different stories so I guess you can never really tell. Why aren't you getting a 4 anyway, just curious, as then it's there for the future but just because you have it, doesn't mean you have to use it straight away. :flower:
 
Seths - so glad that you now have the correct diagnosis for Seth, but I would be so angry like you are because of the time it's taken given you've been trying to get him diagnosed for 3 years with obvious signs :grr:

With regards to the food I'm not a lot of help as Ruben eats pretty much anything I give him, puréed or finger foods. The hv once told me that you have to offer a food between 15-20 times before you definitely put it on the 'not liked' list, so perseverance is key I think. Like skeet though when Ruben eats he can either be really easy to feed or not depending on his mood. If he's overtired I pretty much have to sing through the whole meal or he is grouchy as anything and try's to knock the bowl out of my hands and rubs the food all over his face!

Heaven - I'm probably not the best to answer since Ruben was my 5th baby and I definitely can't see DH agreeing to any more :haha: Me and my sister are only 19 months apart and we hated each other growing up, but we are really close now. I have 3 girls who are 6, 9 and almost 12, so 3 years in between and then 6 years to Ruben. I've always thought that 3 years was a good gap, simply because by 3 they tend to be a bit more independent, can dress themselves, feed themselves and most importantly for me were potty trained by the time the next one was born. Of course that was what I wanted, but if you don't mind having more than one in nappies at a time etc, then go for it :) Also like kte said I'd just go for the 4 bedroom and keep the spare rooms until you need them, saves having to move again. Can you tell I hate moving house?! :haha:

Click to expand...

4 means a bit more money but I definitely don't want to move again!
 
Yes personally I'd pay out the extra now and know you've not got to do it again :)
 
I'm waiting a bit before my nex baby..probably another year and a half.. I need to go back to work for a bit and get hours and money lol.. Plus I really want to enjoy Carson as a baby :) I'd go for the bigger house now though if you are planning another one even if u do decide to wait a bit at least your prepared when it happens.

Carson bit my hand yesterday and although I don't see any teeth I could for sure feel them :)
 
Oh its amazing how hard gummy bites can be!

Sophie can sit up now :happydance: She has about 5 minutes or so before she gets too tired and wobbles over but she is doing really well, she can correct herself sometimes. I only sat her up a bit yesterday solo to roll the ball forward and back with Chloe - aka bat the ball with flailing hands :haha: It was so cute!
 
Oh kte Carson is getting pretty good at sitting up too! Lol now that he is sitting he doesn't really like to lay down to play so its very time consuming as I can't just lay him on the floor to get something done. He loves his jolly jumper too so at least I can put him in there sometimes when I need to do a couple things. I do love just sitting on the floor with him and playing though :)

Carson is also starting to get his legs and arms going for crawling.. He has all the right motions he just can't really figure how to get his body of the ground yet
 
I think she wants to be sat all the time now as well :dohh:
 
Hayden can sit but refuses to do so! She topples herself onto her belly within a few minutes and is off trying to crawl. She's really really close...she rocks back and forth on all fours and this morning started to lift up her one arm!!! Last week she was doing this cute scootch thing where she would move both her legs up at once...her arms are super strong. I'm getting on my husband's case about baby proofing...I think we'll be there in no time!
 
Mrs c that's so exciting about Hayden gearing up to crawl :) Ruben is no where near yet, but he still hates tummy time so it's no wonder really! He just loves sitting up and bouncing in his jumperoo. I had his hv check today and he is now weighing in at 18lb10oz and in 69.5cm long! He's definitely a chunky monkey, that's for sure :haha: He is having his first childminder day tomorrow and will be the longest he's ever been away from me. I'm looking forward to some free time, but I'm really nervous too! I've used the same childminder for all the girls so I know her really well and know that Ruben will have a great time though :)
